can someone help me decode this 350?

[jwang203]

Here is a picture of the stamp above the water pump. I cannot find out what this came out of other than its a 350. Any help? Thanks.

the rest of the casting numbers can be more of a help than those ones....their easily faked or changed...

[Jjay78]

the ones on the bell housing flange and the ones on the heads are more important

Im not coming up with anything either I think its a fake stamp,  get one off bell housing flange and I can run that one

Im pretty sure second stamp is fake as when I run it i keep coming up with 68-69 camaro 396, but I will keep checking, but the only way to know for sure is to get the number trans flange

Thanks guys. This motor was purchased as a rebuild from someone. After installing it and having tons of issues it spun a crank bearing after about 300 miles. Its coming back out.

I would also get the one that is cast in the block by the bell housing.
I know the one on the front is the plant code but the other will help you out as well.
